flood-alert-prototype.jpg to /public/assets/showcase/]A Primary 5 student's water-level alert prototype for flood-prone neighbourhoods.
Built for ages 9–14 — Primary 3 to Secondary 2 (Grades 3–8).
Structured project builds that apply computational and design thinking to real-world challenges. Build wherever you are.
Younger and older makers welcome too. Our library keeps growing, so there’s something for everyone.
Add a photo at /public/assets/programme/hero.jpg— ideally a Micro:bit + prototype shot, 4:3.
A guided lesson path with slides, video walkthroughs, code, and editable handouts. Material that's been taught in real classrooms — not just designed for them.
Hands-on with real tools. Each project follows design thinking: empathise → define → ideate → prototype → test.
Articulate what was made and why, not just how. Reflection prompts after every build. The part that makes the learning stick.
Every completed build saves to a portable portfolio you can publish. Plus offline build-along events — meeting other young makers in your city.

Code a Micro:bit-powered plant that waters itself. Read soil moisture, write conditional logic, build a housing — while exploring Singapore's water conservation story. Theme: Sustainability / Water.
Under a theme like Transportation, Energy, or Urban Food. Like every build, it uses the same Micro:bit Tool Kit and follows the design-thinking process: empathise → define → ideate → prototype → test.
A third real-world challenge rooted in a Singapore context. Founding members hear the final three before anyone else, and help shape the order they're released.
More projects are released regularly. The programme expands over time into Scratch, Tinkercad, AI tools, and more,
plus real-world learning journeys exploring eco systems, food security, sustainable living, and marine biodiversity.
Each project sits under one of five pillars that connect to national priorities.
The same pillars Singapore's schools draw on.
Biodiversity, urban greenery, ecosystems, parks. Wildlife or plants in built-up areas.
Daily-life choices: water, waste, recycling, food, household energy.
Solar, energy efficiency, smart grids, low-carbon power.
Sustainable business, products, supply chains, green jobs.
Climate adaptation: flood, heat, water security, infrastructure resilience.
Pedagogy and meta-skills (design thinking, glossaries, parent-coaching guides) that apply regardless of theme.
So your child gets the same framework on every project, and you get the same support.
Aligned with Singapore Green Plan 2030.
Pay S$49/mo per child
(Year 1) to secure a Founding Membership.
Access the platform and review builds. Kits ship within 3–5 days if ordered.
Work through projects as a family, or let your child run. New builds added regularly.
Every completed build is saved. A record of thinking, making, and iterating.
Builds from classrooms and after-school maker clubs.

Every project your child completes becomes a portfolio entry — code, photos, reflection, outcome. A record of what they made, how they thought about it, and what they'd do differently next time.
Over time, this becomes more than just a record. It's something they can look back on: to revisit ideas, improve past builds, and spark new ones. As they grow, it can also become a way to share their work and see what others are building.
And when opportunities come up, they have something real to show for it.
Each downloaded portfolio PDF carries a unique certificate ID and a public verification link. DSA panels, schools, and competition judges can confirm in one click who it was issued for and when. Families can share their child's work with confidence.
Build photos go here. Aanya’s plant prototype, soldering iron in hand, soil sample on the table.

The moment things clicked“The first time my plant beeped at me on its own, I forgot I was the one who programmed it. It just felt alive.”
Add a sunlight sensor too, so it can tell me where to put the plant, not just when to water it.

pump.on();

A portfolio speaks for your child wherever their work matters — Singapore's Direct School Admission (DSA-Sec), secondary school applications, scholarship panels, competitions, and overseas admissions, but equally for internships, community placements, and any organisation that values what students actually build. DSA-Sec, in particular, opens doors based on what students do, not just how they score, across categories like:
A child who has spent months building, reflecting, and iterating on real projects has something substantive to show. We don't guarantee admission outcomes, but we give your child the raw material to represent themselves honestly.
Referencing DSA-Sec categories factually, not as an admission claim. Code Gakko does not guarantee DSA outcomes.
Every completed build saves to a portfolio — share with family, classmates, or the wider Code Gakko community.
We're putting together offline build-along events where kids, parents, teachers come together to tinker in person. And beyond the core programme, kids will be able to publish their own builds — anything they've made,
on a Code Gakko Makers showcase page and their portfolio.
Code Gakko works for student groups too — teachers can bulk-add students, manage lessons, and we bill via Vendors@Gov. We're already in 30+ Singapore schools (5,000+ students built with us since 2017). Tell us what you need.
